not very risky ?

heating up 600euro worth of electronics for almost melting point (2 minutes) with hair dryer is not risky ?

and by the way

there is no 301kohm SMALL resistor !

u need to build line of four at least, 3x 100k + 1x 1k
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daan518:
I wouldn't do it myself either, but I've seen someone do it and it didn't seem very difficult or risky. I'm just saying it's possible.

And you can get a 301k resistor store bought.

I tried to update my international GT-i9000 through Kies but that **** would not detect any updates, so i used this method here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=11200575&posted=1#post11200575 to change the registry and kies was able to update my device but now it will not load. it gets stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy S i9000" screen.

I had exactly the same a while ago, buy a jig, (about $10, i bought it on ebay from a dude in Japan)

Insert Jig, wait 5 sec and you have download mode. Flash stock rom and your ready to go again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mrquasi:
Boot in download mode and connect with ODIN, then you can flash the rom you want.

Or make your own JIG !!!

But that's right with that you can enter in downloading mode even if you have brok the bootloader !!!

If you have reflash a new rom after plugin the JIG, the problem musn't remain.

Dont worry about taking it back, if your phone was able to be recovered then it will be nearly impossible to fully brick it.

[Q] Bricked Samsung Galaxy S?

Hi guys!

I have been trying to upgrade my girlfriends Galaxy S from Android 2.1 to the newer 2.2. Since Samsungs own Kies and Kies Mini couldent do the job, I downloaded Odin3 and a couple of firmwares. The first one I tried worked like a charm, exept it dident support norwegian language. The second one I actually downloaded from a link in another post here on this forum (can't find the post now), the filname is I897UCJI6-OCD-REV02-Low.exe. Running this .exe starts Odin3 automaticly and the update seemed to install just fine. Now the porblem is my new boot logo says "AT&T" and not samsung. Now I dont have any other language than English, Espaniol, Dutch or Italian. And the biggest problem of them all, the phone turn off when I connect either the charger or the USB cable for PC. It allso wont go into "download mode" by pressing vol-, home and power button. I have tried EVERYTHING! Is it bricked, or is there another way I can revert, go back og format the handset? Pls help me!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
so download mode is definitely not working ??

Take the battery out, do the 3 button combo (for download) whilst inserting the battery back in..

If that dont work try recovery mode, if that works do a full factory reset.

if all that fails your next option would be to buy or make a USB jig ...... or send back to samsung
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simone201:
I think that you've flashed an AT&T I9000M ROM.....

The phone works correctly or it turns off??:confused:

If you can't go into download mode try the 3-Button-Combo FIX....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartinNorway123:
I think I've tried all of the different combos for download mode and factory reset... Nothing works, it just boots normally with the at&t logo. Yes, it works just fine, until I plug in the charger or usb cable. Then it turns off. Does not seem to charge at all when it is off. Cant get it back on until I pull the cable out. Extremly annoying! Well, I have made my own 301kohm resistor, just have to buy a micro usb cable (the missis wont let me cut open the original) :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
was it a custom AT&T ROM ?? does it have the extended power menu ?? you could reboot into recovery or download from that... do u have rom manager installed by any chance
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartinNorway123:
You see, thats the problem: I dont know! Cant find the post were I got the download link for the rom... But the filname is pasted in post #1. Like I said, its my missis phone, what exactly is the extended power menu? The only program exept the Samsung kies I have installed is Odin3.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartinNorway123:
Exactly, thats the one! How stupid of me to think that was for the european galaxy s... :mad: Well, can the problem with the phone turning off when inserting the charger or the usb cable due to the fact it expects a different voltage? Since they got 110V and not 220V in the US? And do any of you know if there is another kay combination to get it into download mode with the "at&t captive firmware"?

After some try and error with the Odin3, I got it back online with the english 2.2 firmware. Now, all I need to do is get an firmware that supports Norwegian char settings and language :) The Kies still wont update the device...

do you know why I can't acces my external sdcard from CWM?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qun:
I could transfer it to my internal sdcard with the USB connection, but CWM doesn't let me activate and I think it's because the phone got bricked with the USB debugging activated.

Will try to acces to my internal sdcard with ADB...

EDIT: do you think doing ums_enable in cmd with the SDK installed will make the phone connect to the computer so I can transfer a new flashing file and un-brick my phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timmey806:
Ive had the same problem some time ago!

I think it is a bug in speedmod kernel, mounts and storage in cwm doesnt work!

You have to flash voodoo via odin, than you are able to move files in cwm with mounts and storage!

Now you are able to flash your backup trought cwm or to flash an other rom from your sd card.

If you need to transfer files using recovery mode to your internal/ext SD use another kernel like SO or voodoo, SM dev says he cant fix that coz he is not sure what is wrong.

Bell I9000M Bricked?

I'm not sure what's happening with my phone now ... but it won't boot up and stuck on the flashing round icon or the giant "S" Logo.

I did some searching on here and tried everything that people say that have fixed their Galaxy S i9000M.

I was trying to bring my phone back to "stock form" via 3 button download mode in conjunction with Odin 1.3

I've first downloaded JH2 with 512 pit and used the re-partition button on ODIN to flash...

After flashing it just gets stuck on the round circular logo or the "S" Logo

I then tried several different OEM ROMs downloaded form samfirewares and nothing is working.

is this the definition of being "bricked" or is there a way that I can still save this phone without having to send it back to Samsung?

3 button download mode still works and ODIN still works with it.
